Hi , my name is Lorenzo from Italy . Completely new to the forum and quite green in the microstock business.
Hope to learn a lot from the pro here 
Started first on FT and DT so if you like to see my little portfolio there you'll find more photos .
Bye 

Small port but I like it! good looking male model as well, also like the wine bottle stuff.

welcome to a bumpy ride.

Hi

Welcome. You have some nice images in your portfolio - and that male model is gorgeous More shots of him doing things (versus just sitting or lying around looking lovely) would probably do a lot for sales.

You have very few images at Shutterstock - is there some reason for that? As you can see from the earnings poll, they'll bring in the largest monthly earnings (or they do for most people).

Hi and thx to all .
#jsnover : in SS even if I registered 9 months ago I just started to upload ... a week a go     ... and seems true the poll beacuse with hust the batch of the first 10 images accepted I had 7 sales in 7 days ... not bad at all ( 1 on demand )  ... so now I'm starting to upload the portfolio ...  But approving time seems quite long to me ( 5 days ) on SS ... is this normal ?

for a few months yes, it wasn´t, remember less than 24h and sometimes 4/5h

Yeah , probably because I'm new  ...
But ... Am I wrong or SS doesn't care about the real copyright on building ?
I mean  every building in Paris ( to say one )  is copyrighted for them  ... but that's not true ... Eiffel tower during day is public domain while at night no ... they rejected my daylight ones ...
Every time I think to have understood the various rules ... I must start again ...  okayyyyyyyyyy ...
